  Our 6-month old daughter has been at Options for two months now, and I can't say enough good things about the place. Cristina, the director, is very hands-on and is on site every day. Communication is easy: she and the teachers can be easily reached through the app or by text and always respond quickly. The teachers (Ms. Michelle and Ms. Brandi in our case) are warm, caring, and understanding. I was quite anxious leaving such a little one, but from the first day, I felt that she was cared for and in good hands. The backyard/outdoor deck are also gorgeous, and it's nice to know that the kids (even the infants!) spend a lot of time outside each day. There is such a dearth of child care options in our area and I am truly grateful for Options every day <3

  As a mom, finding the right daycare was honestly really important to me after our experience at another center. Before coming to Options, my daughter was constantly sick and it felt like we could never catch a break. We’ve been at Options for about a year now and I can honestly say the difference has been amazing ! She hasn’t even caught a cold. I love that they let the kids be kids. They’re outside in all four seasons, they encourage creative play and imagination, but they also have structure with morning time, learning activities, and educational calendars. It feels like such a healthy balance. The biggest thing for me though is how loved my girls feel there. Every morning both of my daughters run right into their teachers’ arms smiling. You can just tell the teachers genuinely love what they do and truly care about the kids like they’re their own. As a parent, that kind of comfort is priceless and we are so thankful we found Options 🤍

  My daughter has been going to options for over a year and moved from the infant room to the toddler room a few months ago. I'm very grateful for her amazing teacher Ms. Marissa and for the director's (Ms. Cristina) responsiveness, attentiveness, and kindness. Ms. Barbi is wonderful as well!! They spend as much time as they can outside every day which makes me feel very good about sending her to daycare regarding germs and free unstructured playtime. I'm a teacher myself and feel very confident dropping her off every morning. Most importantly, my daughter LOVES going to "school" and RUNS in the door every day and when she leaves she blows a big kiss and even says "I love you" to her teachers.❤

  This Early childhood center is the best. Every time I pick up my kids they have the biggest smile on there face. And they are always eager to go. And they also bring home "master pieces"...lol...the teachers there are awesome and they are always eager to share my kids day with me. And the best part its like a school setting. They have meals and snacks there for the kids. So no need to bring a lunch. But they always respect the dietary needs of the kids. And they also had fun at there Halloween party!! I highly recommend this center for families.

  Our daughter absolutely loved going to this daycare, she started off pretty shy but opened up so quickly and blossomed. She started not at all potty trained and when we put her through the process the daycare was super on board and helpful with training outside of home. The staff are so thoughtful and always so happy to see her, the director does her best to work with you and what the needs of the kids are. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for child services, the facility also goes up to a pre-k program which my daughter learned so much from as well. We will be back for drop ins when needed!

  My 11-month old had a wonderful experience at Options! The staff are very caring and attentive and he was always excited to arrive for the day and always had a big smile when I showed up to pick him up. The facilities are very spacious with lots of outdoor space, highly recommend for little ones!
